Jewellery Care

JEWELLERY CARE

Your Lion Wild jewellery is made to be worn and loved, but a little care will help keep it looking its best for longer.

Our jewellery is water safe, but water safe does not mean chemical resistant. Gold plating will naturally soften and fade over time, and exposure to salt, chlorine, soaps, perfumes, moisturisers and other chemicals can speed up that process.

As a general rule, water itself is fine. Products and chemicals are what we want you to be careful with.

OCEAN

You can wear your Lion Wild jewellery in the ocean, but salt water can be harsh on plated finishes and may cause the gold colour to fade faster over time.

If you wear your jewellery in the sea, rinse it gently with fresh water afterwards and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.

SHOWER

We recommend removing your jewellery before showering.

Although water itself is generally fine, shampoos, conditioners, body wash, soap and other shower products can wear down plated finishes more quickly.

POOL

We recommend removing your Lion Wild jewellery before swimming in pools or spas.

Chlorine and other pool chemicals can be particularly harsh on plated jewellery and may affect the finish over time.

HAND WASHING

We recommend removing gold-plated rings before washing your hands.

Repeated exposure to hand soap, sanitiser and other products can cause the gold plating to fade faster.

PERFUME + BEAUTY PRODUCTS

Apply perfume, moisturiser, sunscreen, fake tan and other beauty products before putting your jewellery on.

Allow products to dry before wearing your jewellery and avoid spraying perfume directly onto your pieces.

CLEANING

For everyday cleaning, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid abrasive cloths, harsh jewellery cleaners and household cleaning products, particularly on plated pieces.

STORAGE

When you’re not wearing your jewellery, store it somewhere clean and dry.

Keeping pieces separated where possible will also help prevent scratching and unnecessary wear.

STERLING SILVER

925 sterling silver may naturally oxidise or darken over time. This is normal and can usually be refreshed gently with a suitable silver polishing cloth.

Avoid using abrasive polishing products on gold-plated pieces.

A NOTE ABOUT PLATING

Gold plating is a surface finish and will naturally change with wear over time. How quickly this happens depends on how often the piece is worn and what it comes into contact with.

Following the care instructions above will help your Lion Wild jewellery stay beautiful for as long as possible.
